Following a preliminary scoping review of relevant literature, specific case studies were selected from Europe and the USA and Australia/New Zealand to explore mechanisms for bringing forward land for housing development. Country experts were recruited to act as advisors to the research. The emerging findings were presented to a round table of stakeholders including developers, planners and academics, to ‘road test’ selected approaches in terms of their desirability and transferability to the UK. CCHPR's outputs were a short report, a JRF ‘Findings’ report and a short series of briefings/blogs to bring out the relationship between specific policy initiatives and the changing policy and economic environment in the UK.
